What's even better is that we are looking at purchasing new turnout gear and airpacks. So we convinced the vendors to give us some of their products to take with us; because if we like thiers better, that's what we'll purchase. :twisted:
 
Reno huh?

Bring your ski's, Tahoe's not that far away. ;)

Good luck and stay safe!

Thanks,

Well, just got back last night. All I can say is WOW! What a blast! I've got some pictures I'll try to post them up when I get them uploaded to the web. The props were great. They use a diesel/hexane 70/30% mix, and boy do they get hot!

It was really cold down there. The entire time the burn props are going they have sprinklers going directly over the props. Of course they do not put the fire out as we're talking flammable liquids here shooting out at 80 psi. When we'd come out of the props we would be soaking wet from the sprinklers and it would turn to ice by the time we got out of the prop (each prop took approx 20-25 min). A couple of people looked like human popsicles! LOL!

But it was a good time. :)
 
Zack,

You know what VBA sounds like to newbs right?

I'd imagine it sounds the same as a firefytr talking about "props"...:)

The D/H mix sounds like a lot of fun though!

As for human popsicle, we're hitting the ice in Lee Vining in 2 weeks! Y'all feel free to join us!

I'm glad guys like you are out there...

Ah! LOL! Never thought about that. "Props" are live fire simulations where we burn stuff up and the fire fighters get to put it out. Preferrably these props are metal so we can use them over and over again. These are the props we used ...

http://fireacademy.unr.edu/LPGProp.htm (the only propane prop)
http://fireacademy.unr.edu/GasPlant.htm (the most difficult one)
